This heat is killing me!

neoflex · 08-13-2010, 09:19 AM

No not because of my humidor temps but it's been too hot and humid to get outside with a cigar. Even at night it's been boiling hot and super humid. I would even be willing to sit outside in the heat to enjoy a smoke if it weren't so humid that by the time I got to the halfway point the stick would feel and smoke like a wet sponge. Hate to say it but I am actually looking forward to the cooler months already. I may have to visit the local B&M this weekend just so I can sit and enjoy one there in the A/C. Either that or figure out how to redirect an air duct into the garage.

I agree John. This midwest humidity is a killer! I've found time to smoke on the way to work but not any good cigars, just yard 'gars. But the good news is the heat is supposed to break next week!!

TripleF · 08-13-2010, 09:29 AM

Dude, welcome to my world 7.5 months out of the year. I bring a towel outside with me.....really.

maninblack · 08-13-2010, 09:31 AM

How can it be hot in Rockport? You have them big fans on the river bluffs.

maninblack · 08-13-2010, 09:38 AM

Holy crap! You been by here Jeff? Those damn wind towers are a joke.

JaKaacH · 08-13-2010, 09:45 AM

Spent a year there one month...

Way before the Wind power/towers..
Cooper Nuke, I'm sure you're very familiar with that place.

I feel for you guys out there where the humidity is a killer. Here in Wyoming it is just hot and that on its own can dampen my enjoyment of a cigar. I can't imagine adding that humidity in there like you guys are enduring. I hope that you get some relief soon and get back to enjoying your nightly burn.

maninblack · 08-13-2010, 09:50 AM

I work at Cooper Nuke. Small world!

kydsid · 08-13-2010, 09:59 AM

Come to south Texas right on the border and let me know how it is. I have been watching Houston's weather, moving there soon, for the last two months. Nearly every day in the last month they have had a heat advisory. Meanwhile here it is hotter, more humid and higher dew point and we got no advisory whatsoever. LOL

BTW our heat index averages 106 here.

They used to say: "Its not the heat its the humidity"
The other night it cooled off some got a good smoke out and at half way it turned bad, would not burn very good. Plus mosquitoes ate me up..

I went to Houston last year, it was around April I think. I think I lost like 15 lbs in 3 days, I couldn't imagine getting in to July and August down there. I would have not left my hotel room. Talk about a case of swamp butt...

It's beautiful here in the fall.

I'll tell you what, Kevin...I'll give you the opportunity of a life time. You can come out here and stay at my house for free and experience a true NE fall...including raking up all the leaves in my yard!! What do you say???
